OP hasn't come back since 4pm on 9th. They either got their solution, forgot they made this topic or just sent the transaction anyway..

It appears only if you select 'Use a hardware device' while creating a new wallet. The green dot indicates that the hardware wallet has been detected and unlocked. This is what the icon looks like if you have a Trezor device.

Try to skip the too small inputs. And learn about consolidating your inputs when the network clears up: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/aug-2022-mempool-empty-use-this-opportunity-to-consolidate-your-small-inputs-2848987
For reference, you can do it by :
1. Select "Coins" tab
2. Click "Amount" to sort by value for easier selection
3. Hold "Ctrl" button, then choose all UTXO you want to use
4. Right click on any UTXO you choose and select "Spend"
5. Then you should see "Send" tab and proceed to create transaction
On a side note, you might want to crop your images. You're exposing few private info such as receiving address & bitcoin amount, this might attract people who want to steal your coins with social-engineering attack.
Vakulin, you should click on Preview button and see how many inputs / outputs you have, because that may be problem for such high fee Electrum is showing to you. You can set fees manually, but at least pay over 10 000 satoshi fee if you want to use some transaction accelerator (ViaBTC).
I just check some sites where we can see current fees, and for standard size transaction of 226 bytes you need to pay around 11000 satoshi for next block confirmation. In your case $160 in fees is result of something like 200 inputs / 200 outputs which is over 25460 vbytes even with SegWit.

Drag that slider all the way to the left and repost the fee.
If it's still high you can go to preferences and click to edit fees manually.

The fee depends on the number of inputs, the number of outputs and the chosen fee satoshi/vbyte.
If your fee is that big, probably you have a lot of small inputs. It's like you want to go to the grocery store with 100$ made of 1 cent coins. It could be expensive to rent a truck to carry those coins, you know.

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know why my Electrum wallet is asking for $160 fee if I send $10?

By the way, I just made a transaction and I paid only 1 sat/byte fees which is not more than $0.02. It's showing 19.92 MB from tip and I am sure this will be confirmed in the next 24 to more or less 48 hours. So not sure what is happening with you.
